Do you think the weather can affect a person's mood?
Yes, definitely
！
I think a lot of people can feel lazy and tired on rainy days. Whenever I hear
the rain fall in the morning, I'm quite reluctant to get up. Same in the winter: I’d rather stay in bed
under warm blankets than get up and go to class
！
On the other hand, when it's sunny out, it usually
gives people energy. I think I am more productive when the weather is nice, especially in the
morning.
2. What is your favorite type of weather?
Well, I like warm sunny days, especially in the fall, when the weather is rather mild. I like it
when the leaves start turning yellow or red, and the sky is clear blue. I think it's the best season,
and the best weather. I gotta
（ ＝
I've got to) tell you, I hate the rain, particularly in the city: it
makes everything so inconvenient, and the sidewalks become very dirty when the dust and water
mix together. I’d rather stay home when it rains

3. What months get the most rain where you live?
Usually spring is the rainy season, but I think that nowadays the weather is a bit weird, so it
can sometimes rain quite a lot in the summer. I guess we usually get more precipitation rainfall)
around May and June
．
Sometimes it rains for a whole week without stopping. And last year in the
summer, we got a lot of showers. They last 20 minutes and they cool the air down. And then it gets
hot again. I don't like the rain in the city, but I know it's essential for the forests and fields that
surround the city. The rain makes the land green and fertile productive)

4. Is the weather ever unusual or extreme where you live?
Yes, definitely
．
On the coast of Fujian, we get typhoons pretty much every year. Usually they
hit Taiwan hard, and cause a lot of damage over there. So I guess we are a bit sheltered behind
Taiwan, but we still get a lot of rain and wind. Usually some streets get flooded, and schools close
for a couple of days. Two years ago, in one of the main avenues in my city, the cars were half-way
under water. Some people even died.
Yes, definitely
！
In the winter we get a lot of snow, and two years ago, we suffered from a
heavy snow storm that paralyzed

blocked) the whole region. Buses couldn't leave the city,
trains got stuck on the way, and some roofs collapsed. It was a terrible winter.
